Ah Student Write For Jo < Newspaper Discussed "A Link In First Newspaper Chain" Is Subject Of Study By Mrs. M. R. King An article entitled "A Link in the First Newspaper Chain," written by Mrs. Marion Reynolds King, a student in the School of Journalism, appeared in the September number of the Journalism Quarterly. The article told the story of the establishment of the first newspaper in Charleston almost two centuries ago by one of Benjamin Franklin's printers and Franklin's interest in this paper and others, which made him out the first builder of, a chain of newspapers. It is illustrated with copies of pages from the newspaper of 1735, printe'd in Charleston, now in the University library. Mrs. King's material was found mostly in the files of Charleston papers belonging to the Charleston library. v. s. o. Departmental Income Low Corps Of Biology Instructors Become Very Small As Finances Decrease Decreased income has affected all departments at the University. The biology department is no exception. Three hundred and forty-six students are enrolled in the department of biology, in which thjere are three instructors, i. e., two full professors and one associate professor. In general biology there is an enrolment of 207, four extra laboratory sections being required to take care of them and one professor. At the time of Prof. A. C. Moore, head of the department, there were about half of the present number of students, four professors and associates and five assistants. Decreased income has caused the change, necesL sitating the too small corps of inl structors. Dining Hall Adds Many Several improvements have been made in the mode of operation of the University mess hall this year under the direction of the new manager, Jack Evans. A corps of student-waiters have been provided in order to do away with the cafeteria style which was used formerly. It is thought that this plan will be found much more satisr - ? - t EMIL W.

On the completion of the probation work he will be received into full membership and given a gold "Y" emblem.

D bers of the party, representing the Un Honor System Is Approved (CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE) faculty a week ago but it was decided advisable to postpone discussion until Wednesday. Members of the faculty Honor Committee are Dr. Francis W. Bradley, chairman; Professor T. F. Ball, Dr. J. B. Coleman, Dr. Ralph K. Foster, Dr. Josiah ^forse, and Dr. Reed Smith. Following are extracts from the bylaws of the Board of Trustees on the honor principle: "The rewards and punishments of this institution shall be addressed to the sense of duty and the principles of honor and shame. "As the end of the University is to train a body of gentlemen in knowledge, virtue, religion and refinement, whatever has a tendency to defeat this end, or is inconsistent with it, shall be treated and punished as an offense, whether expressly mentioned in the laws or not. The sense of decency, propriety and right which every honorable young man carries in his own bosom shall be taken as a sufficient means of knowing these things, and he who pleads ignorance in such matters is unfit to be a member of the University. "The board expects and requires the students to maintain the character of refined and elevated Christian gentlemen. It would be ashamed of any man who would excuse breaches of morality, propriety and decorum, on the plea that the acts in question are not specifically condemned in the University code. It earnestly desires that the students may be influenced to good conduct and diligence in study higher motives than the coercion of law; and it mainly relies for the success of the institution, as a place of liberal education, on moral and religious principles, on a sense of duty, and on the generous feelings which belong to young men engaged in honorable pursuits. "Whenever a student is charged with any offense on reasonable presumptive evidence, the faculty may require him, on his honor, to confess or deny the clwrge, and may further construe a failure to answer as a confession of guilt, except when such an answer may incriminate others. "In declaring this principle of procedure, the authorities have supreme regard to the protection of the honor of the student and of the University. U. fl. o.
